Local hockey teams struggle on the road

A tough weekend for the Thomas Aquinas boys hockey team.

The Saints were in Red Lake for a pair of exhibition game, but lost both.

On Friday night, T.A. arrived late at the Cochenor Arena and their game never really got on track, sustaining a 12-4 loss.

Saturday, the Saints played a little better but still were doubled up 8-4.

Jared Snyder and Colt Manson led the offense with three points each in the
weekend series.

Meanwhile, the Kenora Triple "a" midget Thistles didn't fare much better.

They were on the road for a pair of games and suffered two one goal losses.

Saturday, the Thistles were edged 3-2 by the Central Plains Capitals.

On Friday, a similar result, as the Kenora Midgets were beaten 4-3 by the Pembina

Valley Hawks in a shootout.
